With the cost of healthcare increasing dramatically year after year it is vital for Health Plans to consider various containment options.

WHAT

Although Health Plans have criteria that define eligible dependents, experience shows that there are ineligible dependents taking advantage of the Health Plan benefits. Ineligible dependents drive up administration costs, claims costs, liability, and worst of all these claims are not eligible for stop loss reimbursements! These factors combined can be a costly oversight. Don't let your Health Plan spending spiral out of control, take the necessary steps to reduce your risk and keep costs down.

WHY

Statistics and experience show that employer sponsored Health Plans, have on average anywhere from 3% to 12% of populations that are not eligible for Health Plan benefits. The potential plan savings far out weigh the cost.

According to ERISA, the employer is the fiduciary in charge of verifying that all premiums are being spent on only those who are eligible. HealthComp can assure compliance with State and Federal regulations and can deliver important benefits to you.
